In terms of DC, I know there will be "mixed" feelings on BP, as he was the founder of the site with TK, and chose to leave. I can say with absolute 100% truth that had NOTHING to do with a potential role with DTD, there had been NO discussions AT ALL before the announcement about DC leaving Blonde. I can also say that I do not expect DC's role with DTD to have any detrimental effect to BP, we are NOT competitors, we intend to work together, with TK being the point of contact with DTD. Myself and TK have always had a good relaionship, he was one of the first people I met in poker.

When DC left Blondepoker, he needed to get a sponsorship deal, the same as all of the top pros. All players who play for DTD have to contribute in additional ways apart from just "wearing the shirt", so we agreed number af areas that he could help out in. He is going to work with me and help promote DTD, but his role will always be poker related, with no involvement in the business side, thats suits us both. 

I am sure that there will be a few people who will view this recent news as "Dave Coleclough leaves BP to join DTD". This is simply NOT true, but I can't stop rumours or the "so and so's" that spread them. The reasons why DC left BP have NOTHING to do with me and are NOT my business. DTD is a totally different business to Blondepoker, I am investing over £4m of my own money into the operation, we are not a competitor to Blondepoker, we are a FRIEND. Some of you may remember, when BP opened it's card room, I stopped posting on here, as I felt that it may be unethical to pr DTD on BP because DTD was going to have its own card room. This is how I do business, and how I will continue to do so, cause it works.

I wanted to make these points, its better out in the open and made 100% clear, Rob
